Earthquake-Resistant Design of RC Frame with “Dual Functions” Metallic Dampers

Abstract eng:
In this paper, a new idea for designing metallic damper is presented, i.e. metallic damper with “dual functions”, because they not only provide certain added stiffness to the building under normal use, but are also of good ability for seismic energy-dissipation. Also, quasi-static tests with these type of dampers are carried out. Furthermore, seismic responses of the structure with and without metallic damper are calculated and compared. The results show that the metallic dampers with “dual functions” not only provide certain added stiffness under normal application, but also are of good ability for seismic energy dissipation.
